The eagle was bigger than the one that brought them here. It looked as if it had traveled a long distance and was extremely tired. After falling on the ice, it didn't move, just panting.
Originally, it just glanced around at random, but did not expect to find Shao Xuan, and then stared at Shao Xuan like a rare item.
Shao Xuan was still holding a piece of ice in his hand, and being stared at by a giant eagle, he couldn't eat it anymore.
What the hell does that eagle mean
Shao Xuan didn't feel malice from those eagle eyes, he just wondered about the eagle's reaction.
After staring for a while, the eagle looked away, looked at the icicle beside Shao Xuan, and then looked at Shao Xuan.
Is that what it means
Shao Xuan took out his dental knife and pryed a piece from the icicle. When he turned his head, he found that the eagle was staring at the tooth knife in his hand.
After thinking for a while, Shao Xuan inserted the tooth knife on the ice ground beside him, without holding the knife, he raised the ice cube in his hand towards it.
Shao Xuan was about to throw the ice cube on the ground, but he didn't think about it. The eagle opened its mouth directly. Seeing that Shao Xuan didn't move, it raised its curved beak again, as if urging Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan moved over step by step, without a knife, and the eagle did not show any malice, but in the face of such a giant beast, one must be cautious.
After getting close, Shao Xuan quickly threw the ice cube in his hand into the eagle's mouth and stepped back quickly.
The eagle didn't bite, the ice cube was swallowed directly after it was thrown in, and then it continued to open its mouth to Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan pryed the ice from the icicle again, took it and threw it into the eagle's mouth, back and forth more than ten times, the eagle shook its wings and got up from the ground.
When it flapped its big wings and got up, Shao Xuan felt the ice shards and the cold mist coming towards his face, and raised his hand to cover it.
Compared with the big eagle that brought them here, the eagle in front of him seems to be no stranger to people. The reason why he showed rarity when he saw Shao Xuan, Shao Xuan felt that it probably just didn't expect it to be in such a place. , just seeing people.
Could it be that they also live in the forests around the hunting grounds
Suddenly, Shao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward, staring at the eagle's talons. Above, there is a very vague pattern.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Shao Xuanneng was sure that it was not the painting of the Yanjiao tribe.
In connection with the behavior of this eagle just now, it does not look like an eagle that has never been in contact with humans. In its eyes, there are too many humanistic things. Like chacha, it seems to have frequent contact with humans. The emotion of the giant eagle in the mountains.
The giant eagle took some heavy steps, walked to a taller icicle, and bit the ice on it.
Shao Xuan followed, got closer, and took a closer look at the pattern on the eagle's claws.
Because the outer layer of the eagle's claw has begun to fall off, there are defects in the pattern. The missing part, Shao Xuan can only speculate.
Shao Xuan was excited when he thought of the patterns left by people from other tribes.
Having been in this world for so long, he has never seen anyone other than the tribe.
Shao Xuan drew on the ground with a tooth knife. The eagle next to him had almost eaten, and it was much better than when he couldn't stand up just now.
It lowered its head and watched Shao Xuan draw with a tooth knife on the ground. At first, it looked very quietly. When Shao Xuan drew a stroke, it screamed, and then scratched with the cracked eagle claws. painting on the ground.
"Wrong? I'll try again..."
After a few strokes, another paw came over.
"Wrong again? Come again."
One painting, one scratching, and when the surrounding ice surface was scratched, the eagle finally couldn't stand it any longer, called out to Shao Xuan, and then twitched its neck.
"Hey, what are you doing, wait!"
Seeing such a situation, Shao Xuan quickly took a few steps back.
Wow-
A pool of vomit smashed in front of Shao Xuan, but fortunately Shao Xuan avoided it quickly, otherwise he would be poured head-on.
The vomit also contained chunks of meat from parts of unknown animals.
Shao Xuan: "..."
Just thinking about whether to stay away, Shao Xuan's eyes were suddenly attracted by a stone in the vomit.
It was a clearly polished stone, only the size of Shao Xuan's palm.
Not caring about the disgusting vomit, Shao Xuan walked over quickly and took out the flat stone.
After picking it up, Shao Xuan wiped the giant eagle's feathers, then took it aside and observed it carefully.
On the black flat stone, there is a pattern painted with white paint, which should be the same as the one on the eagle's feet.
The pattern looks like an abstract rolled-up cloud. The material used for painting is very strange. It was swallowed by an eagle. The pattern on the stone was not blurred at all, and the stone was intact.
Although he didn't know why the eagle swallowed the stone and spit it out spontaneously, Shao Xuan was more concerned about where the pattern and the stone came from.
The eagle in front of him looked at this stone with a very gentle look.
It's a pity that this eagle can't speak, and Shao Xuan doesn't understand eagle language, so he can only guess the general meaning from some body movements. However, it spit out the stone, obviously seeing Shao Xuan drawing the pattern wrong again and again, so he couldn't help showing Shao Xuan the correct pattern.
The quality of the stone is very good, at least it is also a fine stone.
High-quality stone, special pigments, and paintings on it are generally patterns that the painter thinks are very important, such as tribal totems. From this painting, Shao Xuanneng could feel the admiration that the artist carried when he painted.
I don't know if this eagle lives in human tribes just like chacha, but it leaves a pattern on its feet because they can't be engraved.
Shao Xuan had never seen this pattern on the rock wall of the cave near the foot of the tribe, but the animal skin scrolls left by the ancestors might be able to find relevant information.
When I go back, I will draw it for Wu to see.
Thinking about it, Shao Xuan handed the stone back to the eagle, but the eagle just lowered its head, pressed its curved beak against the stone, and pushed towards Shao Xuan.
"For me?" Shao Xuan asked in a low voice. There were other giant eagles coming and going around, and Shao Xuan didn't want to disturb them.
The giant eagle let out a cry, then turned around, walked towards the icicle that it had gnawed just now, and fell beside the icicle. However, his eyes looked clear and his breathing was strong. There were no serious injuries or broken bones. He was just too tired and a little unsteady.
Falling next to the icicle, it can bite the icicle with one mouth.
Shao Xuan shook his head with a smile. How far did it fly, and how much struggle did it go through before it became so tired
Looking at the stone in his hand, Shao Xuan carefully put it into the animal skin bag, and when he goes back, he will show it to Wu. It is best to find some relevant information from the ancient scroll.
Originally, I wanted to find a stone with a good material and engrave a tribal totem in exchange. After thinking about it, Shao Xuan gave up. Even if he knew that other tribes existed, he did not know whether the tribe had enmity with other tribes. Shao Xuan did not dare to act arbitrarily. .
Every day, large and small mountain eagles will come, some fly alone, some come in groups or in groups.
However, with the eagle by his side, the other eagles would not come to grab the territory, nor would they notice Shao Xuan.
The surrounding eagles became more and more silent, and even the eagle standing beside Shao Xuan seemed somber that he didn't want to pay attention to the outside world. Besides eating, he just stood quietly beside the icicle. Sometimes Shao Xuan talked to it. , it only responded slightly.
When the fog thinned, Shao Xuan knew that the time had come.
The sun shone on the ice field, the fog completely dissipated, and the familiar chirping of eagles sounded again.
Whoosh whoosh—
Huge and vigorous figures appeared in the sky above. They chirped loudly, venting their excitement, as if celebrating a new life.
choke—
The eagle next to him called out to Shao Xuan, and it was about to leave.
"Good luck!" Shao Xuan waved at it.
choke—
There was another eagle call, but this time it wasn't the eagle next to it, but from the air.
Shao Xuanqu put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle.
A figure escaped from the flock of eagles flying above and flew to where Shao Xuan was.
It's been a long time since Shao Xuan couldn't recognize him.
The last time I saw him, Chacha was not as tall as Shao Xuan, but now it has nearly doubled in size, standing more than three meters on the ground.
The eagle on the icefield has already started to fly down towards the abyss, and Shao Xuan and Chacha are going back to the tribe.
There was another eagle call in the sky not far away. It was the big eagle that brought them here before. It was also nearly twice as big, with a sharp beak, sharp claws, strong wings, and an old state. Completely disappeared, replaced by this body full of power like a young adult.
After the eagle called out to Shao Xuan and Chacha, it flew away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's time for us to go back." Shao Xuan patted Chacha, who was fluttering his wings beside him, and walked towards the steep slope.
This time, Shao Xuan didn't need to grab Chacha's claws and could jump directly onto the eagle's back. However, before that, Shao Xuan still had something to take.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring something."
Shao Xuan went down the steep slope, came to a place, and started digging with a dental knife. Seeing this, Chacha also used his claws to help.
In the past, when I scratched the rock, I could only leave shallow traces on the rock, but now I can easily smash a large piece of the rock with one claw, and it is easier to claw the ice block, just like grasping tofu.
Soon, Shao Xuan dug out the skin and silk that was shed by the white worm buried in it by Shao Xuan.
Leather and silk are in good condition.
"This is very heavy, can you do it?" Shao Xuan raised the three white worm skins in his hands and said.
"Ah-"
"Okay, try it first."
Shao Xuan carried three rolls of white worm skin and silk balls and jumped on Chacha's back.
"take off!"
"Ah-"
After a tweet, Cha Cha swooped down.
Shao Xuan looked back at the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain that rises into the clouds is hidden in the mist.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, the mountains remain.
Thousands of years have passed, and this piece of ice on the top of the mountain has been in such a daily cycle, batch after batch of new and old. When you come, you are old and infirm, and when you leave, you are reborn.
